SUMMARY:[CANCELLED] ...
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED\n\nToday 3/6 about 4:15pm the City of Austin took the
  decision to cancel South by Southwest in the face of the COVID-19 virus o
 utbreak. They are about to declare a 7 day disaster window as well.\n\nFor
  this reason we have taken our own decision to cancel this month's event.\
 n\nWe sincerely hope we can get Instana back to Austin when conditions for
  travel and gatherings have stablized.\n\nPlease stay tuned for April's an
 nouncement.\n\nMost of all\, please do the basics and stay healthy.\n\nSin

 ory to Transform Your IT Organization\n===================================
 ===============================\n\nAs organizations begin the process of d
 igitally transforming they will often struggle after initial efforts at au
 tomation (the dreaded J-curve). In this 40 minute session we'll discuss wh
 y the J-curve phenomenon occurs and define the concept behind the Pareto I
 nefficient Nash Equilibrium through a game show called "Golden Balls". In 
 this entertaining segment we'll discuss how you can introduce this concept
  to effectively change the game and push past the low-end of the J-curve.\
 n\nThe journey doesn’t end there\, as organizations begin shipping chang
 es more often\, introducing new features\, services\, and dependencies com
 plexity begins to rise. This often results in teams forming centers of exc
 ellence around reliability and availability. We will talk about how Site R
 eliability Engineers enable organizations by accelerating into the upper e
 nd of the J-curve through leveraging observability to effectively establis
 h error budgets\, SLOs and SLIs. We’ll discuss how SRE teams can leverag
 e distributed tracing aggregates\, system metrics\, and log analytics to e
 ffectively measure “all the things” and the value this measurement bri
 ngs to engineering teams through visibility\, communication\, and accounta
 bility.\n\nSlides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lWgIVTlyyOyHturs04mU7P
